Which faith, though? Muslim? Oh, Allah, no. It seems to me he more wants to stamp out that religion all together? Buddhism? As if Buddhists were even real...what about Hindu? Lol! Right? Thousands of Gods? HA! No, no, God is the only God. And Jesus...and the Holy Spirit...and the Holy Ghost...and all the Saints. And that's it.
Now, seriously. Why are we funding faith-based initiatives if the initiatives are only based on the one faith? Because the first Amendment means nothing to this presidency.
I believe the only reason he is using the faithful Americans of this country, the Christian religion as an excuse to do un-Christian things, is because of the success his party has had in controlling the people through Christianity. It is certainly not because of his Christian ideals...as far as a Christian goes, I can't see that George W. Bush is a Christian at all except that he says he is all the time.
So why on earth would I back (pay for) faith-based initiatives when I have no proof of this man's faith at all? His lawyers are asking the supreme court today to shield these programs from any legal action. Christian? He's breaking the A-#1 rule this country was based on...freedom of religion. This is the country that did NOT want to pay taxes to England nor be forced into Catholocism or Protestantism (depending on what kind of King/Queen was in power at the time...remember the story of Lady Jane Grey?), but yet the Bush Administration wants to fund only programs that serve our children and underpriveleged in a Christian-based manner? What about people who do not believe that? Isn't this the land of the free? Only if you're a Christian, I guess, but the world of Christianity right now serves absolutely no purpose in my life.
Here are some images of Bush being Christian:
And to remind Christians of the Beatitudes (let me know if I'm off base here, but Bush and his initiatives do not seem to jive with Christ's teachings):
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they shall possess the earth.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice,
for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Faith-based inititaves? I haven't seen any such thing with this Presidency.
